The second officer stared at the chief with his eyes shining in confusion. “Sir, who among the family members are you suspecting to be behind this.” He asked with a soft tone.Chief Francis sighed deeply, as he furrowed his eyebrow while thinking of the question he was asked. “Everyone is a suspect, this seems strange to me. The lawyer was declared missing the same day Brown had an accident. The lawyer was shot twice in his chest, while for Brown. He wasn’t poisoned when he was in a coma but a few days after gaining consciousness from his Coma, he was poisoned to death.” The officer nodded his head in understanding, as he thought within himself. He turned to face the other officer, “I think this is deep and we must be careful with our investigation, I want you to contact both families, the Bakers and the Forster’s. We need to interrogate each of them, that’s the only way we would know the truth. And we would also need Juan Pablo’s help to see if he could recognise the person who acc

Nicolas sighed deeply, “Master, I wanted to confirm my suspicion about it. So I had to undergo some tests about the liquid. I took a small quantity of tea as a sample for the test. And I found out he added thallium to the tea,” he said with his voice barely above a whisper. “Thallium,” Ryan said with his eyes popping out, he took the envelope unveiling the contents inside as his eyes scanned through each word slowly. “Yes, young master. The thallium takes weeks or months for the full effect to manifest.” “Did my grandfather take a sip from the tea?” Ryan asked curiously, his heart pounding fast in fear and uncertainty. “You have nothing to worry about, Young master. I threw away the contents in the cup and the cup as well, so your grandfather didn’t take a sip from it.” His butler replied. Ryan sighed in relief, as he leaned back on the chair. “Thank you, Nicolas.” He said with a small voice. Nicolas nodded his head, “You are welcome, Young master. But what do we do about it? He

My laptop was having difficulty, so I thought about using yours to finish my work,” he said, getting up from the seat and walking towards Ryan.Ryan stared at him in disbelief, he didn’t believe his statement.Ryan clenched his hand into a fist. He narrowed his eyes, suspicious pricking at the back of his mind. “You should have called the technician to get your laptop checked, my laptop is confidential. I don’t want you going through my laptop again or coming into my office without my permission.” Ryan said firmly.“But Ryan, we are brothers and grandfather said whatever belongs to you, belongs to me as well.” He said.
